Movie World Developer Blog 4 - Franchises

A franchise is a collection of related films in succession that share the same fictional universe.

In Movie World you can create, grow, and manage franchises. You can add any movie/series to the franchise in the pre-production movie/series phase. Franchises can be sold or used in the mid-game for distribution purposes. Popular franchises can boost your distribution and help you unlock new renown stars.

I didn't want to restrict a franchise to only one genre, so I created three types. This way, you will still be able to put different genre movies into one franchise if they have similar qualities.

Types: -Alacrity: Good for high action movies -Converse: Good for heavy dialog movies -Intricacy: Good for complex movies

Don't worry. You don't have to learn weird franchise-type "names." They are only variable names :).

Good movies/series increase your franchise quality, fans, worth, and vice versa. Fans have a positive, big impact on series/movie views/box office sales. They will automatically go and see your screenplay but be careful! Bad movies/series will drove them away and also destroy your franchise. Next big element in the franchise is its age. Franchises will eventually get forgotten, and only time can bring them back with nostalgia factor.

Lastly, I added in a little sneaky feature. Let's just say there can be lawsuits involved with sold franchises 😉.

Have a great day!
